| off 100000 of the present duties on manu-

off $40, 100000 Of the present duties on manu-
featured wool. an amount supposed to be bal
anccd by the reduction on tho raw material.
As the aggregate of duties paid on all woollcn
manufactures last year was S29729. III 90,
il would appear that tho old. vicious and many
times refutcd theory has governed the prepare
ton Of this measure, namely. the theory that
a removal Of duties will enable manufacturers
TO get their raw material cheaper by the full
extent of that duty. In view Of the fact,
which is certainly known to all practical manu-
facturcIs and dealers. if not to the Treasury
cNpcrts that a slight increase in the demand
from this country sullccs to put up the price
Of wool in foreign markets, it is not safe to
assume that any reduction in the cost of raw
wool can be secured. But whether the manu-
facturcrs pay as much for their wool az they
do now. even more, at any rate over one
third Of the duties on manufactured wooicns
are to 90 off if the Administration bill succeeds.
Other features of the proposed measure can
not be discussed intclligcntly without better IN
formation than is yet given respecting its pro-
visions But the one part of the bill about
which definite statements are made is quito
enough. The margin of profit for wo0Ilen
manufacture during the past year has been so
scanty that a large number Of the mills arc
closed now. and have done no work for months.
II il were certain that law wool could be had
at exactly the cost now paid in foreign markets,
the difference in cost. about five cents per
pound on grades most largely used in this
country, would be less than 20 per cent Of the
raw material alone. and consequently less than
half the proposed reduction in the duties on the
manufactured goods. That alone would close
many Of the mills that are now at work. 1t
would enable British and German manufact-
urcrs to supply. at such prices as they might
please. two or three times the guam
tity OF woollcn goods they now
send TO this country. Twice the inn
ports, with two-thirds OF the present
duty. would yield. not n smaller. but a much
larger revenue. How the experts, with their
"incalcuiablc labor and care" have avoided
this dilemma does not appear; that they have
not aborcd to avoid destruction Of home in
dustricS is plain enough.

The announcement which the Society for the
Prevention Of Crime has considered it adyi>-
able to publish. calling the attention Of those
concerned with the management Of fans, ETC..
to the statutes against lotteries and railing,
carries with it Il serious lesson. These laws
arc clear and explicit in their language and
positive in their prohibitions. a otcr! IS de
fined by the statu as "schcmc for the dis
tIibuton Of property by chance among persons
who have paid or agreed to pay valuable
consideration for the chance. whether called
lottery, rattle or gift enterprise or by any other
name BY subsequent sections Of the Penal
Code the engaging in any manner in the pro-
motion or management Of such scheme is
made a miSdcmcanor. and all the property
"oGercd for di>poSal' under the scheme Is
forfeited TO the people Of the State.
These statutes are either good laws or they
arc bad laws If they are bad they should be
repealed but if they are good laws their cx-
ccution should be encouraged and enforced.
BY the general consent Of that large majority
Of the community which desires TO see morality
advanced and vice restrained. the principle
that undcrcs lottery schemes is regarded as a
vicious onc--sO far as it affects lotteries not
connected with fairs" With Eilrlng neon
siStcncy. those persons who are most severe
in their ccnSurc Of great lotteries managed as
corporations for the pccuniary benefit Of thor
managers become strangely tolerant Of the
same method Of raising money for some rclig-
ious or benevolent purpose. The statutes make
no such distinction; nor does it rest in reason
or morality. Many Of the wcl-mcaning per-
l. ,,fu tt.h fIfH Of
obtaining funds for carrying on church work
for instance, would be surprised to learn that
their efforts were productive OF more evil than
could be ncutIalizcd by the best use OF the
money collected. But it would only be ncccs-
s;lry to listen to the snccrs Of few OF the
young men who are the chief patrons OF church
gift enterprises to become satisfied OF the truth
Of such a statement. II is not easy to answer
the sarcastic query Of the person who asks
why the pulpit on Sunday night should rcbnkc
him for his pcccadilocs and on Monday night
the management Of the same church should
take the dollars out Of his pocket by a criminal
scheme.
Tho truth IS that thoughtlcsSncss and the
incOnsidcrate action Of earnest young people,
whose zeal for a good cause has got the better
of their judgment in the method Of promoting
it, arc at the bottom Of the custom that pre-
walls so generally of running lotteries at lauS.
The managers do not intend to commit
crimo They intend their influence at all times
to be en- the side Of morality and the law. But
custom and the failure Of the authorities to
follow consistent and persistent course in
restraining all Violations Il nc law again''

tiohs that is almost without parallel amoig

Just fled the omission Of ores from the free list
ON the ground that removal Of duties from them
would not be popular in certain Southern States.
Respecting chemicals. also. it is said that "a
series Of what are deemed judicious reductions
are made" but nothing is said Of any addition
TO the free list from that quarter.
The description Of the supposed reductions

question of much Importance to some OF
the public school teachers comes before the
Board of Education to-day. Salaries are partly
graded according to the attendance at the
schools, and when this falls of the number OF
teachers is reduced, and also the pay OF
those who remain. This looks ike an injustice.
In the lower part Of the city The teachers can
not control the attendance at the schools.
Ought they to suffer for what is beyond their
power TO remedy?
